The Brothers Chaps have publicly acknowledged many Homestar Runnerfansites, including the Homestar Runner Wiki. They've been known to drop by when fansites are celebrating anniversaries or other special occasions, and their messages are generally very positive and appreciative. This article provides a listing of known public acknowledgments of fansites by The Brothers Chaps and other contributors.

HRwiki.org is a fan-run wiki that is wonderfully terrifying in its exhaustiveness. It's not officially affiliated with us and no one gets any money from it, but they do have to pay for their own server. Check it out and help keep the HRWiki awesome!

"Without the Wiki, we wouldn't be able to remember which cartoon The Cheat was holding a spoon in!"

— The Bros. Chaps

On the DVD commentary for love poems, it is suggested that the email be categorized as a "Not Quite Teen Girl Squad", based on the Teen Girl Squad cutaway scene (in reference to the Not Quite Strong Bad Emails category). They also parody the fun fact categories, suggesting that Homestar's hair tucking into his sweater is "a goof, and a glitch, and a reference, and a real-world reference, and an inside reference".

The DVD commentary for rated talks about how the Wiki unscrambled the image on the TV.

In the DVD commentary for mini-golf, Matt mentions learning the concept of the ouroboros from the Wiki and Mike talks about searching for The Cheat's arms.

The DVD commentary for rough copy suggests that the appearance of the barbed wire costumes' negative space was listed as a goof on the Wiki (it was not). They claim it to be a stylistic choice. They also jokingly suggest that most of their goofs are a "laziness choice".

"The Homestar Wiki" is thanked in the credits for all of the SBCG4AP games.

In the DVD commentary for Bug In Mouth Disease, Mike Chapman mentions that there was a misspelling on one of Bubs's business cards that was pointed out by the Wiki. The word in question was "paranormal", which was misspelled as "paranaormal".

In the DVD commentary for Homestarloween Party, Mike Chapman briefly mentions that the Visor Robot was never officially named, but that they began calling it "Visor Robot" after the Wiki informally gave it that name.

On November 18, 2005, Matt Chapman sent a personal letter to former Homestar Runner Wiki proprietor Joey Day, enclosed with the following note and several pages of sketches.

Duty!! - Matt C

On Halloween 2005, Mibluvr13 put together a virtual birthday card for Matt Chapman's 29th birthday with the signatures from various Wiki and forum users. (View forum thread) Matt Chapman received the card and emailed her the following reply.

Thanks Chrissy and the rest of you! You guys rule. That card is awesome. And so is the Wiki and all the hard work you folks put into it. We use it all the time when we can't remember stuff from our cartoons.
